other than moving shit to the other side of the room and clearing it out, nope
My controllers require movement to connect so idk if you can search for them using a sensor

Anyone know how avatar dynamics has been going? is it still expected to be released by summer or at this rate the year?

#

i think summer is over already actually XD

#

i'm quite excited for it

To quote Raijin, "they obviously meant next summer"

Hello I have a question so I have this weapon from back to hand set up. Is it possible to have like weapons changing? I plan to make my personal Noctis avatar with all 13 Royal arms and I was wondering if someone here know how to toggle different weapons while still using the gesture animation to make me hold the weapon and then goes back on my back

rough pendant
#

is new update made harderer to change the viewpoint of the models ?

neon finch
#

I noticed absolutely no difference between .29/.30/.31 and how you set the Point of View

rough pendant

Yeah it's kinda harder now

im so mad

#

why do they keep updating we were fine wirh one version of unity for 4 years

blazing bay
#

yah

#

but they uploaded

#

perfectly

#

its just my creations

digital lynx
#

is anything showing at all?

blazing bay
#

nope

digital lynx
#

its either your wifi or the sdk just being slow

#

you just gotta sit there and wait

#

if nothing happens in like 10 mins then delete and reimport the sdk

blazing bay
#

okay

honest yacht
#

What are the content warnings on the avatar upload screen actually for?

#

I feel like if you can check any of them, wouldn't your avatar be against ToS?

loud cape
neon finch
#

i dont think avatars even get the tags

#

its just worlds that do

#

at least last time i marked my world with nsfw and it showed with context_Sex on the website

Weird

#

nothing pisses me off more then my unity crashing

vague raft
#

That’s why saving constantly is so necessary. Programs like to throw a fit out of nowhere.

lavish zinc
#

the problem is

#

it crashes sometimes when loading

#

so i dont know if it has crashed or not unless i check task manager or find out via waiting

How does one make an avatar Quest compatible? I'm planning on buying a cute model I saw but I want them to be usable by me and visible by Quest users.

#

Actually, this should be for a different channel, nvm

wintry glade
bold adder
#

How would I easily fix the problem with my eyes are not closing when I'm doing my gestures? I've checked the Descriptor, the Animation

#

But it just doesn't want to blink in VRC, what's missing?

lavish zinc
#

Check the rigging maybe

bold adder
#

The blendshapes move

lavish zinc
#

No clue then

bold adder
#

Apparently works now

#

Strange problem

#

It doesn't work on the live versions, I upload it as test, works, and then as live, and it works

#

Very peculiar problem...

knotty lark
#

did visemes break in vrc or something?

#

updated my model and reuploaded, now i have no mouth visemes when i talk

#

but other people can see them fine, so nothing to do with my avatar

#

its a super weird issue

#

updating my unity now just in case its that

loud cape
#

you'll probably need to go through every animation

knotty lark
#

i just cant see them locally

#

and this only happened after the vrc update

#

but its with this one avatar specifically, so its super weird

General question. When you use the Float parameter does it also save the setting you use on the avatar like in the Toggle where you still see the same setting when you re-log in to VRchat?

coarse tangle
neon finch
#

Ok I'll try it with the clothes toggle because the avatar I'm making has 4 clothes in total

flint igloo
#

quick question, how would I go about separating one material to many? I used cats to seperate a mesh into many meshes and would like to do the same for materials

neon finch
flint igloo
neon finch
#

ohh ok but be careful with how many materials you use

flint igloo
#

yep, 4 is actually more than enough to do what I want anyways

neon finch
#

4 is a gud budget

barren hemlock
#

You can achieve many layers of effects in 1 material BTW

#

My avatar has 1 single material and has individual controls for shirt emission color, hair color + brightness+ emission toggle, and has seperated emissions on the shirt and other parts

wheat snow
#

cursed controller content

rotund quail
#

I don't know what's going on with my unity but for some reason I can not update my avatar to quest because it's saying that there is a standard material on the model but I changed everything to the VRChat/Mobile/StandardLite and it still pops up saying there is a standard material

karmic totem
#

do you have more than 1 avatar in your scene?

rotund quail
#

no

karmic totem
#

have you checked to make sure that you have all materials extracted from your model, there could be one still in it you haven't changed

rotund quail
#

I literally have every material on the model on the VRChat/Mobile Shader

karmic totem
#

Have you restarted Unity or closed and reopened the SDK panel since fixing the shaders?

rotund quail
#

I didn't restart unity but I closed the panel and opened it again

karmic totem
#

When you say you changed all of the material shaders, did you change all in the project?

rotund quail
#

yes

lunar halo
#

has anyone ran into an issue with blendshape changes not taking effect on the unity model?

#

and if so how to fix it

#

because I really dont wanna redo everything attached to my avatar

#

this is the second time this has happened to me as well

lunar halo
#

okay I somehow fixed it by merging a single vertex and re-exporting. but now the unity FBX is completely missing some vertices... I have never seen such weird ass bugs man..

lunar halo
#

nvm it just reset my material slot number so those materials werent showing... god

flat shadow
#

whats the best software to make an avatar

agile solar
#

Blender?

#

Or VRoid Studio.

flat shadow
#

and Unity is for the animations right?

agile solar
#

Uhh... sure?

torn raft
#

merry swan
#

Wich unity version are you using

polar pulsar
#

It happens

#

If the sdk tells you it uploaded successfully then it should have went through fully ok on your end

#

Just the api has to catch up and all that

cosmic sigil
#

Hi just got full body tracking with 3 vive trackers 3.0 anyone know where to find good avatars to use with full body?

neon finch
#

ex if you use a avatar proportioned for a short person as a tall person weird stuff will happen to the legs chest arms and maybe others

cosmic sigil
#

Do u know?

neon finch
#

how i learned

cosmic sigil
#

Know any good ones to watch

#

Sorry for all the questions

neon finch
#

no

#

well

#

you could start gaining the basic understandings by working with vroid models

#

to then bring it into blender and do stufs

#

tutorials are on that btw many

merry swan
#

immersive scaler plugin for blender can help make it more proportionable, had some avatars tested with it and its alot better for fbt, some tweaks needed

cosmic sigil
merry swan
cosmic sigil
#

Thx

neon finch
#

Besides being clunky and a larger filesize, what exactly would make an avatar have bad performance with 2 avatars in one, a toggle to go between the 2 with only one active at a given instance?

#

In other words what is still being calculated of the model that isnt active

#

and how impactful are those extra calcs to performance

strong shell
#

If it is inactive, the performance impact is small. Probably the transforms get updated

neon finch
#

oh thats it?

gray bane
#

Can you recolor avatar textures on procreate then upload it into blender/unity?

strong shell
#

Yes

trail dagger
#

some thing i made https://github.com/Killers0992/ExpressionsEditor which allows to edit expression menu via 1 window and allows to make toggles of gameobjects on your avatar without touching animator. ( aka stuff is created via clicking 1 button )

neon finch
#

gameobj toggles become so tedius

trail dagger
agile solar
neon finch
#

pog demo

merry swan
#

Int for a object toggle? 🤷

trail dagger
#

i can always change to just bool, i rarely doing stuff in vrc aka avatars/worlds stuff just today i wanted to make somehow some stuff easier

#

sorry for using int

merry swan
#

with int you can only toggle 16 objects total, vs 128 with bool, bit of a difference

#

int is handy if you wanna toggle something and turn off other things same time if they are using the same paramter

#

(you can toggle alot with int but wont be synched to other that join the room)

neon finch
merry swan
#

int and float are 8 memory , bool are 1 , you can have a total of 128

trail dagger
#

already changed to bools

merry swan
#

yeh if you try to use same float paramter to do stuff its not synched for late joiners into room

#

But for something like toggling music (more then 8 anyway) any state and int would be the way

#

0 = music off , 1-255 enable one of these

wind crown
#

hey some one knows how to do an animation (if possible) where the model duplicates in the world and has the same movement as you (like the hand for example)

lunar halo
#

So I added some bones to my armature and changed a blendshape and now my avatar disappeared and the armature isnt updating on the avatar in the scene, I cant seem to figure out if there is a way to refresh the avatar in my scene

karmic totem
#

If you unpacked the prefab in the scene, then there isn't a way to update the one in the scene, you would need to put the avatar in the scene again

lunar halo
#

damn alright thanks. luckily Im not too far into this project

karmic totem
#

Generally not recommended to unpack prefabs in the scene unless you explicitly need to and understand that it breaks the connection to the file on disk. Avatars shouldn't be most of the time

lunar halo
#

yea I think I accidentally unpacked it cause I dont remember doing it lol oh well, good to know for the future

jade grail
#

quick question is there a way to view your own avatar in vrchat without a mirror?

karmic totem
#

in vr you can use the camera, otherwise just the avatar selection menu?

jade grail
karmic totem
#

The only other option I can think of is find a world that has a third person system. I don't know which ones have them and I don't know how to find them

lunar halo
#

You can attach a camera prefab to your avatar that will display a front view cutout on your desktop screen, I have a prefab if you'd like it

#

Hey guys. was wondering if there was a tutorial out there to have the emote wheel maybe only on one hand? That way i dont keep accidently hitting it with my other hand that isnt dominate?

strong shell
#

I don't think this can be done

cunning merlin
#

Hey uhh.. does anyone actually know how to Like upload avatars Or like create them. I just have this friend that's really good at drawing and she wants to get her drawings basically made into Vrchat avatars

strong shell
#

Spend a few years learning 3d modelling

#

Then spend a few weeks learning the basics of unity

#

Then read the vrc SDK docs and watch some tutorials

#

Boom now you can make avatars from scratch

#

You can also pay someone to do it for you. for a few hundred dollars

cunning merlin
#

Well there's that lmao

how to make a "please show avatar" text disappear after they show my avatar?

#

Anyone know how to redirect my audio to another place, for example on a ragdoll? I've seen it in one animation where you fly upward and voice follows but literally you are still in the same place where the animation starts

jade grail
vernal dagger
#

i don't mean audio from an audio source, i meant my voice follows the model for everyone else, like they hear me talking from the model not where i actually am

#

my bad, didn't explain that

lyric ledge
vernal dagger
#

I've seen an animation where the model floats upward and the voice source follows that model

lyric ledge
#

It could be franada’s gogo loco controllers set

#

that uses the masking technique to float

vernal dagger
#

Not that i've noticed no, and yeah i've used the animation plenty of times i'm just confused how to even go about it

#

only thing i know for sure is this was done with sdk2

trail dagger

Animator is edited by 1 click of button, animations created for enabling/disabling song

#

anyone else experiencing crashes when testing a custom made avatar? I spend a lot of time changing stuff on my avatar in Unity and testing it in VRChat and the usual process is click Build & Test in the menu, go to vrchat, change to a different avatar and then change to my actual avatar (the one I'm testing). but sometimes when I change to a dummy avatar before changing to my actual avatar the game will crash. not sure why. I thought it might be the avatar but I don't see anything indicating it. sometimes it doesn't crash for a long time but sometimes it'll crash every time I try to test the avatar. this is when I'm changing to the dummy and not my own btw. kinda weird

Is there a way to make a pc and quest avatar at the same time?

vague raft
#

Well all Quest avatars can be Pc avatars but not all Pc avatars can be Quest avatars. If you design it for Quest from the get go it’ll work for Pc

neon finch
#

It has a quest thing for it to make it quest compatible just idk if I can make it the same way

jade grail
#

how do people test quest avatars? like I'm playing desktop vrchat so I don't have a quest to test out my avatar. I'm moving over some animations and stuff from a pc avatar and I wanna make sure everything works or if something is not supported, remove it

neon finch
#

Hello I have a question How do I assign a specific weapon to be equipped? Do I make separate animations for the one to put in the Right fist hand, and the weapon animation? Like the one I'll put on the Right Fist hand is all the weapons are active and then the weapon controller will have an animation specific weapon active only?

jade grail
#

damn. aight thanks

#

also do quest users usually keep safety settings performance rating on medium or do they drop it to poor? I wanna convert my pc avatar to quest but it'll end up being Poor performance unless I reduce the polygon count even more which would only mess up the model even more. so is it worth it? or does enough have their performance ranking lowered to Poor?

crystal pendant
#

hey so i tried downloading my avatar from the api using this method on reddit

# 

Also, this only works if you're uploading unitypackages in the first place, which was the function of the 'future proof publish' option in the SDK. Many users have this turned off (it might even be off by default now, I haven't checked in a while), in which case only the asset bu```
#

but the unittypackageurl

karmic totem
crystal pendant
#

is empty

crystal pendant
#

if its your own

#

its safe game

karmic totem
#

any file pulled from the api, is against TOS

crystal pendant
#

No. You may read the VRChat team's official stance on use of the API here, but the TL;DR is this: So long as you're not using the API excessively or with malicious intent, you may use it as you wish. Do not expect official support from VRChat for use of the API, however.

#

thats what they say

karmic totem
#

Who is to say that you are pulling your file from the API and attempting to pull files out of it to reupload

crystal pendant
#

what do you mean?

#

all i need is my original file i uploaded on my former pc

#

do you know another way to do that>

karmic totem
#

If you want to know whether this is allowed, you should contact support looking at #vrchat-support but as far as anyone understands, this isn't allowed

#

If you lost your original files, you are SOL

crystal pendant
#

SOL?

karmic totem
#

shit out of luck

crystal pendant
#

ohhh

strong shell
crystal pendant
#

then that post shouldve been deleted on reddit from the start for giving us false information on the main sub

karmic totem
#

unless that subreddit is an official subreddt, which I am pretty sure it is not, they can technically put whatever they want on it

#

so if you want help pulling this out of the API, even if it was yours, you will need to get support from that subreddit, because it is avatar ripping and not allowed

crystal pendant
strong shell
crystal pendant
#

ohh welp

strong shell
crystal pendant
#

thanks though, i dont wanna rip something, just trying to find my own unity file back lol

karmic totem
#

again, if you want support for doing something like that, you need to go to the source, it is not an official method and is technically against the rules under
Asset Reverse Engineering, Stealing, Extraction, or "Ripping" Content You may not: Reverse engineer, steal, extract or rip content from VRChat. Use OR redistribute content that has been reverse engineered, stolen, extracted, or ripped from VRChat. Content in this context is either content generated by VRChat OR by other users. Doing so will result in a permanent ban from VRChat on the account that said content is found.

crystal pendant
#

im not sure, but that might've been the loophole theyve talked about

#

Content in this context is either content generated by VRChat OR by other users.

#

its nor made by others

#

its made by yourself

#

but then again that might be not the case

karmic totem
#

Doesn't matter, if you want a real answer, contact support #vrchat-support if you want help doing the method, go back to the subreddit and ask

crystal pendant
#

i did so

#

i meant

#

i contacted suppoirt

#

so better hope they can help me lol

strong shell

here's another part of the terms of use:

If you violate any provision of this TOU, your permission from us to use the Platform will terminate automatically.

#

vrchat is not a government institution or a regulated platform like a bank or something

#

but let me tell you something about your avatar

#

you already verified that the data that you would need is not on the servers, so it is likely even vrchat support can't help you with that

Use a more optimized avatar

By default very poor performance ranked avatars get hidden

But now instead of getting hidden a fallback avatar is shown

So if I use a poor performance avatar my fallback will show?

graceful nest

by default yes

i think poor still shows

very poor doesn't show

Using a more optimized avatar will do that under default conditions

question, anyone know how I can make it so during a toggled animation my arms get locked in whatever position they were in when I hit the toggle? until the animation ends...

Hello all!

I am quite new to VRChat and wanted to import some models into the game. I am reading the Documentation for the SDK and am trying to understand how it all works, however I am finding myself getting confused and a tiny bit frustrated. If someone could possibly help me get the SDK installed and just run me through how to do an avatar in Unity and then transfer it into the game, that would be wonderful. I know Unity very well so the animation and rigging is not a problem for me.

If anyone can help, feel free to ping or DM me.

Thank you, CaptainKirb

Which is the desired behaviour... it's messing up when it plays through the additive layer

Keep that in mind just in case something messes up in the future with an sdk update.

weird that he said to put it on additive?

Additive I believe should be for humanoid animations, like a light breathing idle.

Avatars 3.0 was a lot different when those tutorials were made. I believe MOON made a video discussing that the stuff they learned in the beta is much different than current 3.0.

Im guessing using unity 2019.4.29f would prevent upoaded avatars from showing up in game right.

5.6, 2017 and 2018 avatars all still work in game so there is some compatibility there. In theory if you had the old sdks, 5.6.3p1 would still work. It's more of 'why' than 'could' though.

Depends on the perspective but I feel like it's pretty easy as it is.
Just like learning anything there's a general process that you need to get down. Plus it is game development in a sense. Not really a click one button and everything is fixed thing with how many different variables go into it.

#

But with tools like Pumkin's Avatar Tools and VRCQuestTools, both of which are free on GitHub, uploading has gotten a lot easier than it once was. Moving more towards that 'click one button and it's done' state

#

The difficult part is modelling, can take years of experience

#

But that's why things like ReadyPlayerMe or the other whatchamacallit exist so you don't need to upload yourself

Do you know of any ways to get trusted faster?

you don't need trusted. I think you can upload content to vrchat after only 15 hours or so. or maybe you need the New User trust rank (first trust rank you can get)

# latent lion Do you know of any ways to get trusted faster?

Producing content helps get you trusted (u don't need it to upload content). Once you got the minimum rank to upload content, you can upload a free avatar or two to get your rank boosted a little. It's not a magic bullet tho, it will still take playtime to achieve a high rank.

Assets\UdonSharp\Scripts\UdonSharpBehaviour.cs(6,11): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Udon' does not exist in the namespace 'VRC' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

& using Unity 2019?

limber roost
#

Yes, I've been regularly making avatar and worlds recently, and have upgraded everything to the latest versions since the beginning of this month. I'm not sure exactly what's leading to this particular issue :/

#

I'm trying to get AudioLink setup, and it's not clear but I assume it's okay to use the Avatar SDK3 for that??

barren hemlock
#

Did you happen to upgrade the SDK from SDK2 to 3 in this project?

limber roost
#

Huh?

#

Oh

#

no

#

this is a brand new project

barren hemlock
#

Is this avatar from somewhere online or did you import everything yourself?

limber roost
#

Ohhhh, according to AudioLink VRC for Worlds SDK is required, weird

#

This isn't even for an avatar, I'm just trying to make a component

barren hemlock
#

Audiolink can be put on avatars through shaders

#

But yes you need the SDK3 for worlds to make a world

limber roost
#

This isn't a world though

barren hemlock
#

It's an avatar?

limber roost
#

i don't know why they disabled sending screenshots on this server but

#

it's an item

#

I'm making a Japanese glowstick

#

and I want to add audiolink to it

barren hemlock
#

Then you can't use Udon for avatars. Audiolink is managed in the shaders for avatars (Poiyomi has functionality for it)

limber roost
#

??? so how am I going to test it

barren hemlock
#

Poiyomi has debug options for testing the different audio bands that Audiolink uses

limber roost
#

Yeah...

#

So the workflow for testing avatar components with audiolink is just uhh

#

just entirely through Poiyomi?

barren hemlock
#

Pretty much

#

You an bring it to an audiolink compatible world to live test it if you want to

limber roost
#

Huh, weird - I never would have expected that lol I guess I was overthinking it

#

Thank you friend

#

I'll mess with a bit longer

#

Why did the server disable sending screenshots btw??

vague raft
#

because people abuse it and this is the sdk3 general chat

#

I wouldn't have image posting in general chat channels of any community server but for help channels or designated image channels then sure, no problem there

limber roost
#

Isn't the point of these channels to share resources and help and stuff? like it seems like that defeats the purpose of the channel idk

barren hemlock
#

Everything here is meant for talk. The Help channel allows images and any other stuff goes to #avatar-showcase

limber roost
#

Oh I see, I wasn't aware lol. Thank you

vague raft
#

I guess it is a little out there that you can upload images in every other channel in Udon, Avatars, Worlds, Development, Oculus Quest, Media and Other but not this one or the 2 General channels.
#avatars-2-general serves as the help channel for sdk2 so I can see why only that General chat has images

To test Audiolink live in the editor for avatars you only import Audiolink into the project. Don't import Udonsharp or Udon.

the VRChat shaders work fine if you want your avatar to look the same between PC and Quest since you can't use anything other than the VRChat shaders for Quest avatars, but you can't do transparency

Rero is also a good PBR shader that introduces fake light shading if a world has broken/bad lighting

You must obtain at least "New User" Trust Rank in our Trust and Safety system in order to upload content. You can get this by just spending a few hours in VRChat, hop some worlds, and make some friends. Give it some time and you'll be able to upload content in no time.

As an aside, you must have a VRChat account to upload content. That means you can't use a Steam account, Oculus account, or Viveport account to upload content like worlds or avatars.

if you're wondering the reason why custom shaders are not allowed is basically the quest to is a daily mobile phone so it's much easier to cause it to lag with custom shaders and there's some type of Shader effects that don't even run on Android

jade grail
#

hey um just to be sure the Avatar Parameter Driver can't change the default parameters like VelocityX, etc? it seems that the wiki says you can only change user defined parameters

wintry glade
#

Those default parameters should be driven by other things, so even if you were able to set it it would be instantly reset by your actual velocity or the like

jade grail
#

hmm alright. I mean yea it makes sense. velocity variables would really just be read only and not some you can write to. it's just that the default locomotion has an issue that if you jump and press W to try and move forward it will glitch out and the velocityZ variable will switch between 0 and 0.03 making the animation jitter. I was hoping I could set them for an easy fix but I think I'll just go with my secondary fix where I have an animation state with the blend tree and one with only the animation

wintry glade
#

Velocity stuff is really unstable, especially when you compare what you see locally and what others see over the network. I would recommend some kind of buffer system so that the animation only plays when its a large enough number for a long enough time

#

Personally I've just avoided using velocity parameters, but then again I dont do much locomotion stuff as its all procedurally done on my avatars

jade grail
#

it's the default locomotion base layer for the Prone blend tree that uses the velocity variables so it's not that I'm doing anything specific. it's a bit annoying that my setup won't work well for having multiple prone animations but I'll figure something out

south pewter

Is that normal/typical?

vale fox
# south pewter Is that normal/typical?

its an interesting file tree but its not necessarily one id call unusual, it just has a lotof folders, more than id use, and of course has way more materials than it probably actually needs among other assets that can be combined and optimized down.

#

worry about optimization eventually, but not right now if you need to understand unity first. in fact if i were you id try uploading a very simple avatar first in order to understand how unity works and how it works with the VRC SDK, one that isnt this one

hasty hemlock
#

and where's comes to worse folks will just see your fallback Avatar until you figure out Avatar optimizing stuff

vale fox
#

for understanding unity, and avatars specifically, you need to know that all avatars in the end consist only of model files, material files, texture files, and animation files. also audio, but that is self explanatory, completely extra, and not that important.

model files consist of the actual 3d model or mesh(es) that make up your avatar. avatars have extra data on top of just its mesh - they also have bones or an Armature, a skeleton which tells an avatar how it moves. they also have shape keys, animations created by directly changing a mesh's shape, which lets you have lip-synced mouth movements and blinking animations. (common extensions for model files .fbx, .obj)

in order to give your model color and lighting information, a material or several materials must be applied to its mesh(es). you can give materials textures or image files (.png, .jpg, etc.) in order to influence how they look.

vrchat avatars specifically are driven almost entirely by animation files. there are animation controllers which have state machines, which are glorified flowcharts that describe how an avatar is supposed to move. the points on this flow chart are .anim files which, you know, move your avatar.

you first need to set up your avatar so that way it looks right by making sure that your model files have working materials. as for turning it into a vrchat avatar, you need a VRC Avatar Descriptor component on the avatar which allows you to configure it for final uploading.

#

since you bought this avatar, all of the work should have already been done for you. i would look in the Models folder near the bottom of the >Anone or >Anone_Street folder tree, there should be something in there called a Prefab or Prefab Asset. drag it into the Hierarchy window and it should show up in your scene as a complete, working avatar

#

from there you just need to log in to the VRC SDK and upload it

#

if you want to make further edits, i would highly reccommend watching Sippbox's VRC avatar tutorials if you havent already

#

all of them are really easy to parse and get straight to the goddamn point

hasty hemlock
south pewter
#

Thanks. I do have some more simple avatars I can play with for learning with. With this one in particular though, i think i found the prefab file but like none of the animations were linked and was just having a bunch of small issues like clothes clipping, and the emote animations werent linked right, i could only get walking animation going forward but not backwards, etc.

#

i will watch these videos, i havent seen them. thank you!

Hey there! Having some issues uploading a new avatar right now. Always getting "Error saving blueprint" after upload

#

Pipeline Manager is disconnected, and also already tried restarting unity. Updating existing avatars works aswell
Any idea what could cause this?

inland geyser
#

Okay what, it was caused by not having something in the description. Since when do I have to fill that out? Normally it got autofilled with the avatars name if I recall correctly.

neon finch
#

just google vrchat feedback boards

#

and login wit ur vrchat acc

inland geyser
#

If it still occurs I'll do that

neon finch
#

There was another error besides it just saying blueprint saving failed?

inland geyser

Maybe something on the backend got changed, and that's causing it

welp now i know thats a fun quirk i need to worry about

#

at least its pretty explicit in what it wants

karmic totem
#

Just tried with blank description, current sdk allows uploading without a description, but not a blank name, but it will finish with both an error and a success box, with the error in console saying you need a description. Definitely a bug that needs to be reported if not already

i think people miss the error when they go out of build phase, while their unity console has 'clear on build' and 'clear on play' enabled

Heya, I run fbt and notice that my movements are significantly "smoothed out" when I see myself on a video recording from another players point of view. Is this a kind of setting or is fbt motion smoothing just a built in part of vrchat?

It was kinda a strange sensation seeing myself on video because I knew that I did move a whole lot less fluent and more pronounced than what is actually being shown to other players.

#

On one side its good that I dont look as janky, but a lot of my small expressive movements gets reduced a lot and some doesnt even end up showing to others.

You must obtain at least "New User" Trust Rank in our Trust and Safety system in order to upload content. You can get this by just spending a few hours in VRChat, hop some worlds, and make some friends. Give it some time and you'll be able to upload content in no time.

As an aside, you must have a VRChat account to upload content. That means you can't use a Steam account, Oculus account, or Viveport account to upload content like worlds or avatars.

advice/good tutorials for beginners looking to make avatars but don't know how? i have blender which im just playing around with for now since im still learning modeling and such. also im guessing i still need to use unity but a lot of tutorials that were good and simple are no longer useful since vrc doesn't use unity 2018 anymore.

#

i feel like avatars would be the easiest to learn first tho before worlds so I'll probably do worlds later

This sounds like you have something preventing the SDK from compiling. Check the Console Log for errors, fix whatever is causing the issue. You also need to be using Unity 2019.4.31 for the current SDK, it does not work in 2018, and even if it works in 2020 or 2021, you won't be able to use the avatars uploaded

fallow turtle

Do not reuse the project you have now, it will include things that cannot load in Unity 2019 and will just be a giant headache to even begin to fix it.

When doing avatar expressions what do people generally prefer on a toggle in a emotes menu or on a controller trigger?

#

I personally think emotes is better that way I can see what the emote is without having to look in a mirror but since it's going on a semi-public avatar I thought I'd ask the community

low whale
#

I prefer facial expressions on gestures so they can be accessed quickly in the moment and used while moving and turning. If they're in the menu, you have to fumble through the menu on one of your controllers. Emotes like dances or anything you would want to toggle on/off are best in the menu. Just my preference though, not sure what others prefer.

lucid venture
#

Usually if there in the menu they should be toggle on and off so they can be used while moving

low whale
#

Sure if you put it on and keep it on, but the process of going into the menu and selecting one with a stick locks down one of your controller's analog sticks for that period of time

#

And generally I wouldn't just toggle on an expression for an extended period

vague raft
#

I have a similar mindset. Running facial expressions on gestures feels more natural but if you still want options in the menu you could try the 2 axis puppet controller facial moods. Have it set between happy, sad, angry and another. Perhaps this can give a wider range of expressions.

lucid venture
#

Well I'm just using a expression sheet that most avatars use

#

I was just curious as I was looking to fix up a 2018 avatar that needed some fixing and thought I'd add expressions to it

lucid venture
low whale
#

That is the biggest downside of having them on gestures, but I personally, and I think most people, mostly use just a few avatars - so you can learn them, and then you've got the ability to quickly be expressive without having to think about it or fumble with anything. I get that some people don't like having to learn them, though, so it's a matter of what is a priority for each person

lucid venture
#

Are there certain gestures that most people associate with certain expressions?

candid patio
#

The combination of having to remember what each Index gesture shape is and what it does has made it pretty difficult for me nowadays
Might try using a hud shader so I have visual references

brazen crown
#

do you guys reccomend different models for different outfits or doing fancy unity stuff to quick swap outfits

marsh trail
lucid venture
#

👍

marsh trail
#

Not a facial expression but I also see people using "Rock'N Roll" to flip people off so I presume an angry face could go with that
I personally would make it a toggle between that and normal "Rock'N Roll" or Y for ASL
if it's a public avatar as not everyone wants to flip people off and some people sign so

olive wolf
#

is there a way to disable gesture hand animations over a toggle
so for example i toggle a gameobject on like a pair of catpaws and want the handgestures to be disabled that they dont clip through the paws

marsh trail
#

I think that'd do it

# brazen crown do you guys reccomend different models for different outfits or doing fancy unit...

I’ve always just added all my outfits to a single model and set up the logic so it’s impossible for more than 1 outfit to be active. Though this will show as being Very Poor, each outfit + body individually can still preform as Good/Medium. What you need to consider is all the textures it’s loading for each different outfit’s material and how they affect people. Atlasing your outfit textures without merging the materials is still helpful as you’re reducing the number of texture it needs to load. Basically 1 file is better than 4 files.
You can still upload another version with only 1 outfit present for the Good/Medium rating for events and the such. Though the main may perform well there’s no way for the game/others to know.

@vague raft like a simple visual interface to add stuff to the gesture menu, instead of having to go through creating animation overrides, assigning values to animations, the whole animation tree thing, etc.

Is there a way to lock a bone rotation with a contraint. I already have a virtual hip bone for my bottom half but i want to use a toggle to lock it and then reset it simulr to how virtualcamera2 does its pining

echo tartan
#

Are dynamic bones toggleable via an animationclip?

#

Also how do i make animclips in unity with wildcard paths?

#

Like so i dont have to worry about parenting

#

/armature/*/element

merry swan
#

yes you can turn off dynbones with toggle ect

echo tartan
#

yay cool thx

echo tartan
barren hemlock
echo tartan
#

I meant the person can just use rotation constraints

#

So if the bone was to rotate it wouldnt

barren hemlock
#

Oh sorry I didn't see the reply

echo tartan
#

I still need to know how to disable multiple scripts at once

#

Or like gameobjects

barren hemlock
#

A single animation can do as many actions as you want

#

So you can just have an animation disable the objects

echo tartan
#

nu wildcards pls

#

idk how i would be able to script that

barren hemlock
#

You can't use wildcards in animations. They must be absolute paths

echo tartan
#

since a scenes a binary object

echo tartan
#

i hate that

#

relative btw

#

im glad theyre not absolute and work in different roots

barren hemlock
#

It's done on purpose. If you have two objects both named "My Object" in a slightly different path, say Armature/Hips/Spine and the other at Armature/Hips, how would the animation tell which one to animate if you use Armature/*/My Object?

echo tartan
#

doesnt really work i guess

#

shit even seems to break if i have two gos with the same name

#

or like one named -1 and -2

barren hemlock
#

You can't have two of the same name in the same path

echo tartan
#

ye

barren hemlock
#

It'll rename it to (1) automatically

echo tartan
#

I mean on different avatars

#

Using the same animator

barren hemlock
#

Them you'll have to make sure the paths are the same

echo tartan
#

Or well using wildcards

echo tartan
#

Why cant i use wildcards to select an object :c

#

stupid unity

barren hemlock
#

Because of the issue I stated before =P

#

It can't know which to use if they're similar

echo tartan
#

i wish the scene wasnt binary T_T

#

I can generate controllers, prefabs etc via code

#

but cant parse the scene

#

I might make a mono script for unity again idk

#

since those can interact with gameobjects in the scene

barren hemlock
#

You can interact with the scene via code

echo tartan
#

idk how to without playmode tho

most of the vrc-related unity plugins dont

#

Anyone by chance know of a shader that makes the capsule around avatars visible?

nova dove
#

I'm pretty sure that's not part of the avatar, but part of the world/game itself, you'd have to create a capsule shaped mesh, apply a vrchat/mobile/particle/additive shader, which will make it translucent, and then add light, and tada you have a pseudo capsule

Usually you want to spend time making sure things work before you upload something, unless you really don't care, so a "mass" upload seems like you are just throwing them up in a "they work kind of" way

Well most of it is just replacing textures since there’s only a handful of different models for the characters

There are also probably at least 100 other people who have uploaded in total all of the animals from ACNH so seems a little redundant. If you plan to use them or set up a world, once you can, for them, could be a worthwhile endeavor though
